Waterside in Halfmoon Bay, Rockwater Secret Cove Resort is the Sunshine Coast’s answer to unique lodging. A raised wooden walkway coiled beneath a canopy of coastal forest leads to a collection of 5-star tent-house suites, worlds away from the standard definition of camping. Built on individual platforms above the water, each luxury suite seems to be suspended within its own separate world of sunsets, private decks and stunning coastal views. There’s no flash or dazzle to detract from the grand serenity or blissful natural surroundings; rather, the deep soaking tubs, heated slate floors, Japanese shoji screens and gas fireplaces all contribute to the sense of tranquility. Adding to the dreamy experience are the full-service Spa Without Walls, located on the seaside bluffs, and a talented culinary team serving up fresh local seafood and game in the fine-dining restaurant. The resort is located on Malaspina Strait in Halfmoon Bay, two hours by car and ferry from Vancouver or a half-hour via floatplane.
